Penketh Parish Council is delighted to share the recent improvements made to our much-loved local green spaces, Greystone Rec and Withinshaw Park. Over the past year, we have undertaken significant enhancement projects to ensure these facilities can be enjoyed by the community all year round.
One of the biggest upgrades has been extensive drainage works, allowing the fields to remain in use throughout the seasons. Additionally, a new perimeter footpath has been installed, making access easier for all visitors. To provide more places for residents to relax and enjoy the surroundings, we have also added two new benches.
In 2024, we introduced two brand-new Multi-Use Games Areas (MUGAs) at both sites, creating more opportunities for sports and recreation. Football enthusiasts will be pleased to see the installation of two sets of goalposts—one full-size and another suitable for younger players.
Greystone Rec has also received new play equipment tailored for older children, including:
✅ A shelter and bike stand
✅ Larger swings
✅ A climbing frame
✅ A spinner
Meanwhile, at Withinshaw Park, we have added:
✅ A new bucket swing
✅ Refurbished soft-pour surfacing for improved safety
It has been fantastic to see so many residents making the most of these enhanced facilities, and we look forward to seeing even more people enjoy them as we move into the spring and summer months.
We appreciate the community’s support and hope these improvements help make Greystone Rec and Withinshaw Park even more welcoming spaces for all.
